No More Room in Hell 2 - Dev Playtest Clip: Farmhouse 

Disappearing bodies is such a vibe killer in a game like this, at least let us set the ragdoll amount or time.

Remove the super bright and colorful markers and name tags, its destroying the immersion.

Alright, I'm gonna be honest. As much as I like the new gameplay features, it’s just missing the vibe of the first game. Maybe it’s because of the scarcity of items like healing items (here was shown like a box with medkit and several bandages). Though so far, it looks... good; they just need to take risks on putting several factors that make the first game unique (like Infection, kid zombies and the runners and the "K" option).

It looks like a pre-alpha, but I REALLY hope you'll get rid of the HUD. All of it. The first game was awesome because of the total absence of a HUD. Get rid of the HUD.

“Just wanted to say a few things in response to some speculation s - First, EA launch is us putting forward a possible intersection between the previous game and the current market and we absolutely will be taking input on the direction for how to land that intersection well. We will take all feedback but also remember in broadening the audience the old hardcores are going to be served more in higher difficulties and nightmare modes. There is a ramp up to those difficulties to help new players adapt, but if you want brutally hard, we have it - We will provide more minimalistic HUD support over time, we just prioritized players knowing what to do for the EA launch build as step one until more UX can support - Melee combat, grabs, and animations all have major improvement plans and mostly what you see are compromises for EA so we can get direction and vision feedback before trying to finish this game without you guys. So that will all come - Also don't get too focused on the first map, yes there is just one for EA launch and we wanted to be clear about that, but the game ultimately remains about the evolving narrative between the maps and there is going to be huge variety between each map as we approach them as narrative pieces” This was posted by an admin from TB in discord

It looks like a good starting base, but obviously needs some polish to a lot of things. That's to be expected. I am still super excited regardless. It's one thing to have sick animations and sound etc etc but I also really hope the actual design/gameflow/game mechanics are something unique and addictive.

I waited for this game since first teaser in 2016. I am looking forward to try it out on EA release but I'm gonna be honest here. If many things we see in these gameplays aren't fixed and improved (mostly animations) until v1.0, I'm gonna regret my money and time with a lot of tears.

I really love the gore but I hope they put more details into the game

Lets be real for a second, NMRIH 2 will not match the ambiance that NMRIH 1 has.

At the moment this looks like a mix between Contangion and Hunt:Showdawn. I'm little bit worried about the new zombie grab, because it fells like zombies can basicly stunlock you, and easily overpower you, but I'm not sure.

bruh they corporatized my nmrih 😭😭😭😭

Is this like on...easy mode? Huge nametags and waypoints?

The graphic looks too colorful, too bright. I miss the dark, depressing tone of the first game. This just feel much more action and flashy than the first game.

I think it looks promising so far. The gore looks great, the animations are good, the graphics are good, and the atmosphere seems to be on par with the first game although it's hard to tell without playing it first. Atmosphere isn't something you can get from a 2 minute trailer but rather something you soak in after hours of play. Although I do agree with everybody else here that the waypoint markers and player nametags need to go. They're too bright and suck away the immersion. Seems like you guys already have a map system in place, so why not let players rely on that to get around instead of having those bright, garish waypoints? It could lead to interesting gameplay scenarios where players will have to risk leaving themselves vulnerable to check their map, punishing them for not being aware of their surroundings and paying attention to where they're going. Waypoints seem like a crutch for sub-par level design IMO

remove the icons on hud, its bullshit

I'm a little disappointed the survivors already seem pretty organized. It's more fun playing as randoms just trying to survive than some already established survivor group going on missions.

Finally someone who can hit zombies with shots

Really excited for the game, but this is supposed to be an immersive, grounded experience. The HUD should not be present all over your screen by default. There should be a button to reveal objectives/compass like in the first game so the objectives can be visible for players that need it, but hidden for those who wish to have more immersion.

Really like the graphics and the way the zombies die and get hurt. I think you need to turn off the HUD to complete the inmersion that NMRiH has, and the animation when you get grabbed. Also, a piano songs like NMRiH 1 would be very nice, like old Resident Evil piano soundtracks from ps1 and ps2

I hate the mash button to push zeds i prefer good ol reliable V for pushing

I hope this game won't blow my computer in pieces in main menu

Make the map ui look worn and not so damn bright, waht are those superbright nametags and markers, loader guns, loader breathing

IM LOOKING SO FORWARD TO PLAY THIS!!

Looks great so far. Just wish those markers and name tags weren't so apparent. And you know.. the usual zombie children.

I just realized bodies disappear but I’m assuming if they don’t the game suffers performance wise?

So whats the point of this game? I remember how excited I was in the first showings of this when you check your pulse as a way to check for damage, since in the original you had to ask friends what color your name was at. That had its own form of realism, but the vein checking was a great way to keep you immersed in the realism. Those giant, bright objective markers? Radio boxes showing up, a map that shows you where you are at all times so theres no tension in getting lost or forgetting locations?? Items coming up with a description instead of giving the player the benefit of the doubt that they're not stupid. Zombie kids being taken out. It's like death by a thousand cuts every time I see more of this game. These are things that were supposed to be enhanced and fixed. Are runners and infection even still in the game? I don't know how many of you even care about it actually being a sequel to such an amazing game. Still unmatched in the quality of its realism and respect for player intelligence and great map designs. Whatever you audience you guys are chasing, I wish you luck, I just wish I was a part of that audience.

I cant wait for 22!

this looks great much better than the first gameplay trailer

Being able to mash to get away is too forgiving

Loving the look of this, give me an option so that those HUD arrows fade over time after checking my compass and the ability to turn off tinnitus noises present from 1:18 and you'll be on amazing track, good job guys.

This version is already good! Cant wait to play the beta!

The first NMRIH was, and still is, a refreshingly realistic and grounded take on zombie games. As much as I love playing Left 4 Dead for example, NMRIH is still an excellent example that realism can be done right in zombies. I think this instalment falls under many traps that plague modern games. For one, there's too much on the hud. I enjoy it when games get creative with their hud such as having the compass be a physical object on the character model itself. You even did this well in the first game by having to check manually how much ammo you have and having the character say the ammo count. It's small details such as that that benefit the experience so much. Having waypoints to every objective removes any incentive to explore the maps properly which is a bummer because the first NMRIH rewards you for actually exploring, whether it be ammo, weapons, supplies, etc. Even having the ammo count pop up when you do check your ammo removes the point of checking it at all. The game also looks too bright and too dark in places. NMRIH 1 benefitted great from the source engine because that engine is naturally gritty and evenly balanced with lighting. Going more down the middle and balancing the lighting would look better. Another thing that bothers me is how weak the guns feel. Compared to NMRIH 1, where even the pistols felt like hand cannons, they feel like toy guns here. The reactive body-parts being blown off is an incredible detail that I applaud, but it would be nice to see an audio update to make the guns pack more of a punch. Some of the character animations in particular are too overly animated as well. There's no reason to have the characters have such bouncy steps. Also, please bring back Bateman as a playable character. I'm excited for this game and have been for a while. Thank you for making another NMRIH!

To be honest, considering Torn Banner took the game away for 2 years, I was expecting it to look less janky.

Digging up old inspired source engine mods and giving them a new coat of slop seems to be in form. Is it some kind of conspiracy? Are they burning every last idol before collapsing society or something?

The picatinny rail on the pistol is tacky, either only make it able to take pistol specific red dots or remove the option to add them entirely.

This gameplay shows a little more about the game. The compass is better than the first game, the sounds are okay, except the character's voice, it feels a bit off. The HUD makes the game unrealistic compared to the first game, where you had an objective with a compass, that was better in my opinion. Also the zombie grab is seems a lot similar to the Dead Island games, I liked it more in the first game more, smashing buttons to push it away is not nmrih. Also I hope there will be zkids, they were harder to notice in the darker areas and were annoying in a good way. Also K button is needed, I don't want to attack my friends az a Z.

PLEASE let there be an option to declutter that HUD

Loving the new Killing Floor 3 DLC.

can't wait to play this game with my friend again, loved the tactical slow paced more than alot of other zombie game.

Lots of complaints here, but I agreed, the markers kinda ruins the immersion of discovering things for the first time. I would’ve like it better if we can just say…use the objective button for it to show up, like the compass from the original game.

As little hud as possible please let’s make it like the first NMRIH also kid zombies plus turn down the saturation a little bit

did I notice a melee push or shove with melee weapon in hand? (similar to vermintide / darktide) man I hope so! being able to push and stagger enemies close to you is so nice

how come the gameplay trailer from 2 years ago looked better, like more cinematic in terms of colors, shadows, fog etc.. hopefully its just the areas in the video that feel a bit bland

Great stuff, keep up the pace

the radio station gameplay got me feeling a little worried about melee combat (zombies react too little when gettinf hit in the head and they seem very tanky), the new "screamer" (hate special infected) and the HUD; BUT DAMN this one got me hyped again, seeing this variety of objectives and how the zombies react when they get shot in the head. This looks very promising, I just hope feedback is taken into consideration on the following updates and a roadmap would be great too. You guys have my support and will have my money by the 22nd for sure.

Something I noticed during the grab animation is that the player seems to get locked out of doing anything for a few seconds after the animation ends. I think this should be addressed. maybe changed so that the player can move immediately after shoving the enemy back but still takes a few seconds until they can attack?

Game looks pretty cool in a lot of ways, but I don't like the "mash a key" thing to fight zombies off. Big thumbs down on that.

Looks cool but I hope this location markers and telling you exactly where you are on the map is going to stick around. Feels like some cheap Ubisoft handholding. I liked how you get into the house, barricade it while you unlock the door to get into the basement, creates a cool dynamic. One shot one kill in the head with zombies I too appreciate

I remember farmhouse, even though I haven't play NMRIH for ages. it had that cornfield, but was a pretty small map. It seems like it's combined with other POI on this map. I would like to see a whole mission play out, because that's where you really get to see what defines NMRIH. Sometimes you have to leave someone behind, but overall the mission was to get everone out.

We all hope that after the game is released it will become, albeit temporarily, very good and popular

This looks great, really hope those waypoints are toggleable though. Same with the nametags. NMRIH should be terrifying and immersive, not necessarily just a zombie sim. Environments could definitely be dirtied up more, with it being an apocalypse and all.

Awesome job guys! Me and my mates are looking at this one

This is more Killing Floor them NMRH, even the graphics looks similar.

They should have the markers be in a map like silent hill 2 where its marked on the map instead of the markers constantly being displayed

They have outright said you will be alter every part of the HUD, and have it never show. This is pulled straight from one of their posts where they linked these videos. It may not come on release, but should hopefully follow shortly after. "Many viewers will have their eyes drawn to the HUD as shown in this early state of the game. Our intention is to have a system to allow you to fully customize every HUD element individually to display either on HUD, only on compass view, or never. We’ve prioritized these options to arrive to players as soon as possible, post-launch! The HUD seen here, like many still-in-development features in the game, is being delivered as-is so that we can get No More Room in Hell 2 into players’ hands and hear your feedback."

would be cool if you will add some coop animations - interactions with items.

1:55 oh, so now we just payday

I hope you can play it at least with all settings on low XD

I must say that I played the first installment of this game when it came out, and I feel that this second part feels less alive than the first, I'm not saying that it's a bad game but the atmosphere of the first one and how the missions were carried out felt more natural, this game is more arcade at some point, in the first one you really felt like you were in a zombie apocalypse, I hope they improve the animations, which is what attracts the most attention at the moment and that they listen to the community.

For fuck's sake, make it so players can become infected at launch. It's such an integral part of NMRIH's identity.

i can definitely see peoples complaints about the HUD. an easy solution would be to do what they did in the first one and have it as a compass feature. Press the button to reveal info for a short duration. That could also include featuring player names. Because i would love to be able to identify who i am seeing and so on.

I'm so wary. Not only do they keep giving us the tiniest snippets but it's making it hard to gage how the game will be overall and it's really damaging the hype imo.

I really like what I see, but remove the HUD markers and make them appear on a compass. It would make the ambiance a lot more unsettling. Looking forward to the 22nd!

Going to need to see a bit more. It looks fine, make no mistake. But compared to the first game, something just feels off about this...

Don't like how every zombie kill has a death animation just let some go straight to ragdoll its looks weird.

HUD elements and colorful markers are ruining the immersion, this is NOT NMRIH. Make the hud as minimalistic as possible and remove the markers, since searching for proper items and objective items was part of the fun

WHAT YALL KNOW ABOUT NO MORE ROOM IN HELL 1!?

Less HUD elements please sir, thank you.

the dev really made it so good that the zombie that you shoot them in the head so Cool right there are zombie the games needs more build its kinda Good and even l wanna play it too Early my mind dont wanna wait for No More Room in Hell 2 to came out.

if this game launches then it will be perfect im totally fine with the buggs

This looks more fun than the first game. Idc about hardcore, i want a fun experience. The first game had no direction and you get bite once and youre infected with 0 cure and it was impossible to beat the game

Genuine idea: I keep hearing people ask for a more hardcore game, can you add an option that removes the ui features and makes it similar to nmrih or just have settings to disable some of this stuff.

Remove HUD icons and put it on a button like NMRIH 1 where it’s only toggled for a few seconds. The hud destroys the immersion too much

hope they still have kid zombies

gun play is very looking good it hard to aim

The gun play is pretty lack luster to say the least even the 1st nmrih made the guns more impactful and overall better to shoot im pretty disappointed and im currently replacing all the oxygen around me with copium i really hope everything gets better even though its been a long wait it still needs some work

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO

Love it but the HUD sucks and I really hope bodies don’t de-spawn in the full game.

I'm surprised they added the Farmhouse map from the first one.

Please let there be matchmaking options for the old inventory system of size based, and not 4 slot based like Contagion. And please for the love of god do not have the picatinny rail on the M9 be standard -_-

The zombie breaking down the door was a little lack luster. But everything else looks pretty neat

I hope we get the ability to toggle the HUD on and off. Other than that, I'm stoked - especially because I prefer the more grounded aesthetic of this game over the grindhouse aesthetic of the first.

BRING BACK " K " OPTION!!!!

I don't know, it needs more zombies.

The idea is there, just needs a ton of polish.

un aplauso para la gente que hace las voces porque son tremendas

Please add car driving system.

That top rail on a handgun looks absolutely terrible

Looks good 👍

Animations looks rare, same the atmospheric

Jesus christ that picatinny rail on the M9 looks stupid asf lol

Don't forget the workshop for this game

I played the original mod years ago and honestly, to see you guys making a sequel that already looks this amazing just warms my heart. It certainly looks more modern and with a HUD it feels more arcade-ish, but seeing a lot of people dislike it it could be an option to have it turned off and played the "classic" way as some form of Hard difficulty?

The more gameplay I see the less excited I get. Tornbanner can never be forgiven for what they did to Soter Dave...

Please let this come to xbox I beg of you Torn Banner PLEASE we need this

it will be not that good like our old No More Room in Hell..

definitely needs some work on the melee combat and hud elements.

The melee looks rough

I do not know how to translate into English what I want to say, but there is something wrong with the movement of the dead

i think you guys better remove the colofull markers and name thags. Game looks awesome anyway
